Today I plan on planning to do a plan. Well, I’m actually doing the plan.
This will be the milestones for my development methodology report, where I must talk about multiple project management development methodologies before creating an argument about which one to use in a small game company or personal project.
For the project I plan on doing the development methodology for my Software Development 4 project (Echo of Heroes) which will be done by myself, so this will be taken into consideration. The idea will be to choose a good methodology for this project, which should be based off things like avoiding a lot of unnecessary things like time spent documenting that other people would otherwise be looking at in a large team.
Here’s the milestones:
| WEEK | DATE | ASSIGNMENT ITEM | MILESTONE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 28 August | – | Find research. |
| 5 | 4 September | – | Intro, template and fill text. |
| 6 | 11 September | – | Waterfall, template, abstract (intro sections). |
| 7 | 18 September | – | Spiral, Scrum, comparison sections. |
| 8 | 25 September | – | TDD, RAD, comparison sections.. |
| 9 | 2 October | – | Incremental funding method, Feature driven development, comparison sections. |
| 10 | 9 October | Initial report due | Conclusion, comparison sections, and clean up. Hand in. |
| 11 | 16 October | – | Intro and plan for chosen development methodology. |
| 12 | 23 October | – | 1/3rd of case study sections. |
| 13 | 30 October | – | 2/3rd of case study sections. |
| 14 | 6 November | – | 3/3rd of case study sections. |
| 15 | 13 November | – | Conclusion and abstract. Finalise. |
| 16 | 20 November | Final report due | Proof read and hand in. Buffer. |
As these are based off what looks like a draft of the development methodology assignment outcomes, I can’t say they are the actual assignment due dated. But There’s no hurt having them earlier than usual.
